Monday 3rd - Wednesday 5th Melbourne, Perth. Freo

Our Tiger airways flight to Perth was cancelled without ANY NOTICE! we are annoyed and appalled, not exactly a good start to our travels. We had to wait until Wednesday to travel to Perth, spending Monday night and Tuesday in Melbourne. It was strange returning to Melbourne after we had said our goodbyes. We stayed in a hotel since we had moved out of our apartment already, we stayed just off Degraves street, so we felt like proper tourists.
Tuesday was spent sleeping, eating and drinking a bottle of Drambue whiskey which we had left over from years ago. It was a fun day, although it was strange to start our holiday with a 'staycation' day.
We were up bright and early on Wednesday morning for our 7am flight to Perth and we arrived a little more awake around 9.30 Perth time. A quick stroll through the city, a spot of breakfast and we were off on the train to Fremantle. The strangest thing we noticed about Perth was 'Ye old London' district which was a fake 18th century london street. It was like something from Harry Potter, it looked so artificial that it actually worked in a bizarre way.
When we arrived in Fremantle, we immediately liked the small town feel to the place. Our guesthouse, the Fremantle B&B was excellent and I would highly recommend it. The guy who owns it is extremely friendly and the breakfast, which was included in the 110 dollar room, was lovely.
We went on the torch light tour of Fremantle prison. I love ghost tours so I've been on quite a few. I'd rank this one as 'okay' but not as good as the Port Arthur ghost tour, certainly better than other tours. The tour is a bit light on stories but the atmosphere is spooky and I would recommend it.
